MeetingMar 23, 2026

The city wants relief from the so-called downzoning provision tucked into the hurricane relief bill, which requires written consent from every property owner in a rezoned area. The House exempted Union County, and Monroe wants the Senate to finish the job.

City Council - Mar 9, 2026

A 2024 disaster relief law stuck Monroe with a requirement to get consent from all affected and neighboring property owners for any downzoning. The city wants the delegation to keep working to remove it, since it complicates planning decisions.
